How to Show Lore for a Wife.

Show love for your wife and your admiration of her, not in nonsensical compliment; notin picking up her handkerchief or her gloves or in carrying her fan; not, though you have means, in hanging trinkets or baubles upon her; not in making yourself a fool by winking at and seel ling pleased with her foibles or follies or faults; but show them by acts of real goodness toward her; prove by unequivocal deeds the high value you set on her health and life and peace of mind ; let your praise of her go to the full extent of her deserts, but let it be consistent with truth and with sense and suph as to couviace her of your sincerity. He who is the flatterer of his wife only prepares her ears for the hyperbolical stuff of others. The kindest appellation that her Christian natfte affords is the best that you can use, especially before other people. An everlasting “my dear 1 ’ is but a sorry compensation for the want of Ahatsort of love that makes the husband cheerfully toil by day, break his rest by night, endure all softs of hardships if the life or health of his wife demands it. * Let you? deeds and not your words carry to her heart a daily and hourly confirmation of the fact that you value her health and life and happiness beyond all other things in this world, and let this bo manifest to her, particularly at those times when life is more or less in danger.—.
